Customer Reviews KEEN Whisper

I love the color, look, and quality of this sandal, but the shoe was way too long for a size 8. My big toe was an inch from the end, and thus poked out from a hole in the top of the shoe.

Bought these shoes based on the glowing reviews here at Zappos and I must say I am slightly disappointed, though not enough to warrant a return. They feel a little big. I ordered my usual size (a 10) and I have a lot of room in the toe box. I tried wearing them with the laces tighter but that just made my heel hang off the back of the shoe. So now I wear them tied looser and it definitely helps. Also, the footbed contours don't really feel like they conform to the normal curves of a foot. It's not a huge deal though. The dark red, to me, is really more of a very dark pink. My cousin ended up ordering the light green and gray in the same size and we switched because I wasn't fond of the pink. They are very comfortable in that they don't rub anywhere and I know I won't get a blister with these shoes. I am looking forward to trying them in the water next time I go hiking! They will be more of an occasional shoe for me.

A few weeks ago, I bought a pair of Keen Whispers. After only the second day of wearing them, the ribbon on the strap frayed and came undone on both shoes. I have used Keen as a shoe brand for many years and do not understand why it was faulty. I love the shoes, but had to pay to repair them.

Good shoes. I got a tiny blister under my big toe on an hour walk the first time, but all is well now. And they're so bright and cheery! Keens' usual quality.

I really wanted to love these, but sadly they fall short. I normally wear a 9 in Keens and had to buy a 1/2 size larger in these. Still after a day of wearing them they felt very tight, despite adjusting them looser. I love the color and they gave great support, but ultimately they just weren't comfortable.

I am quite pleased with these sandals. I have been wearing the Privos but cannot find them anymore so I tried these. These are not as comfortable as the Privos but are a very close second.

Oh how I wanted these to fit and they are very cute and I love the pale green/gray color. Alas, they are apparently intended for people with long narrow feet. Keens usually fit me perfectly (my feet are a little wide but with a narrow heel), but these were just way too tight. I usually wear a 7 or 7.5, but these took an 8 and even then I had the odd sensation that my foot was being slowly squeezed backwards. I ended up getting the Venice instead. However, if you have long skinny feet and have found Keens too wide in the past, by all means try these.

Loved the fit and support. But beware the color nile/light grey. In the photo, nile looks like a shade of white. It's a shade of lime green!

Attractive design, pretty color and comfortable overall, but felt smaller and more narrow than marked. Ordered the Newport in the same size and those fit perfectly. Returning and ordering the next size up.

These are great. Love the color and comfort, but can only afford one pair and went with Teva's so that I can wear my orthotic. I do believe the newer styles are a little cushier though.

I was not disappointed at this purchase. The shoe fit perfectly, good support and comfort.

These are very comfortable sandals, however I found my foot slipping back in them on long hikes up and down steep hills.

I love Keens and have another pair of this style in a different color. This particular pair run a bit narrower and longer. But the elastic laces allow me to adjust. Still love them. Black is very versatile - I can wear them to work all summer.

Great shoe for just about anything! Comfortable (of course, because it's Keen), but runs a bit big, so go down a half size. I like how this sandal covers almost your whole foot, yet breathes. Awesome for hiking in all kinds of weather, good tread on sole, and also looks good just with jeans, skirt, shorts, whatever, for sightseeing around town!

This is a great show with good arch support but narrower than other Keen shoes. I'm 5'8" tall and wear a size 8 shoe with wide wide feet and medium-high arches. As a comparison to the Keen Venice H2, this shoe has the same good arches and is light but rugged enough to hike in. But is narrower and pinches my wider foot. However, it's cuter and more sleek looking because it doesn't have so much of the toe box covered in black rubber. This is a great shoe for someone without wide feet.

I enjoy the funky dark red color for this funky style. The straps are a woven ribbon-like material, lined. They are cool in hot weather, but provide sneaker-like protection for the toes and sole. The ability to adjust the fit over the top of the foot was important to me, as I have narrow feet with a very thin, flat instep. I might be very sensitive, or perhaps because my foot slides slightly in the shoe, but I found that the textured insole was a little abrasive on longer walks. Hence the reason for downgrading to 4 stars.

I love my new Keen Whisper sandals. They are so comfortable, I almost never take them off. The only thing I didn't like was the color of them. I thought they would be more blueish than turquoise. But the fit is great.

These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned! I had no interest in Keen sandals because they always looked so clunky, but then noticed a friend wearing a pair that looked a little different. She told me they were the Whisper model, and I tried hers on, and they felt so good I had to order a pair. I still think they are not the most beautiful sandals, but they are great for walking around on a hot summer day.

Great summer shoe for when more support is wanted than a sandal. I felt the length is true to size, but be aware that the straps are snug and will irritate if your feet swell at all.

I ordered the Whisper (my first ever pair of Keen\'s) because I liked the look of the narrow staps and loved the bright blue color! Unfortunately, even after going up 1\/2 a size, I was having an issue with my heel hanging over the back of the shoe. I think this may be due to the fact that the Whisper has a stretchy back strap, different from that of the Newport or Venice styles. My new Venice H2\'s arrived today and they are definitely keepers - more airy and no issue with the back strap. Also, a little more room in the toe box, which is good for my slightly wider foot. The Whispers are super cute and very light, but if you are planning to do a lot of hiking I might recommend a different style.

This shoe ran a little narrow for me. Regardless, it is my new "go to" for summer. I love that the footbed is not fabric. It dries out quickly if you get it wet and it holds no odor.

Very comfortable, excellent sandals that feel like a tennis shoe. I have very narrow feet, and these are the only Keens that actually fit my foot shape. The only issue I have with these is that because they are not very breathable, my feet get quite stinky. However, the shoes are also easy to wash, so that problem can be fixed as well.

I wish they came in a narrow width. But even with my narrow feet they do stay on when I dive into the pool. Also, they run one half size large. If they came in narrow I would give them a "5" as they are very comfortable.

As a faithful Keen wearer, these aren’t my favorite because my foot does not sit comfortably. Usually wear size 8, but they were too big in the toe area; 7.5 fits in toe area, but heel is right on edge & not quite right. Will keep them as Keen cushioning works for me.

Usually wear a 7.5 N, but the 8 fit, so order a 1/2 size larger. Not much arch support, so your feet tend to angle inward a bit. Good shoe for those with narrow feet. Pretty comfortable. My favorite Keens so far.
